A Father's Promise
Marta Perry

A LESSON IN LOVEJust when compassionate teacher Leigh Christopher was about to give up on her God-given talent, she bonded with a special littler girl. Rejuvenated, she vowed to do anything to inspire young Sarah–even if it meant clashing with the child's rugged, fiercely protective father. But the quiet agony in Daniel Gregory's eyes told Leigh that his daughter wasn't the only one who needed her. Despite herself, Leigh was deeply drawn to Daniel and longed to ease the bitterness in his heart. Would it take a miracle from above for Daniel to accept Leigh's tender love?

“Sarah!”

In an instant he reached for his daughter, scooped her up in his arms, held her close. “I was so worried…”

Her arms went around his neck, and she buried her face in his shoulder. He hugged her, the little angles of her knees poking him, her tears wetting his shirt. He’d never felt anything so sweet in his life. He had her back. “You’re safe now, honey.”

Daniel turned to the woman before him. He hadn’t seen her on the island before. If he had, he’d have remembered. Short blond hair, sea-green eyes and a splattering of freckles across her cheeks that gave her a sun-kissed glow.

“Thank you.” The words were inadequate.

She smiled. “You’re welcome.”

He held out his hand. “I’m Daniel Gregory, Sarah’s father.”

Her palm fit nicely into his. “Leigh Christopher.”

Daniel knew it was time to thank her again and walk away. But somehow he couldn’t just leave…

MARTA PERRY

loves seeing the stories in her imagination take shape on the page, so that they can be shared with others. The idea for A Father’s Promise began in a chance meeting at a church conference with a child whose hearing impairment didn’t keep her from doing everything she wanted to do. The Sea Islands, where the author and her husband have a vacation home, provided the perfect setting for the story of Daniel, Leigh and little Sarah.

Marta wanted to be a writer from the moment she encountered Nancy Drew, at about age eight. She didn’t see publication of her stories until many years later, when she began writing children’s fiction for Sunday school papers while she was a church education director. Although now retired from that position in order to write full-time, she continues to play an active part in her church and loves teaching a lively class of fifth- and sixth-grade Sunday school students.

As is true for Daniel and Leigh, the author has found in her own life that God gives far more than we could ask.

The author lives in rural Pennsylvania with her husband of thirty-six years and has three grown children. She loves to hear from readers and enjoys responding. She can be reached c/o Steeple Hill Books, 300 E. 42nd St., New York, NY 10017.
